microsoft excel 2007 file to excel 2003?
I was using a computer in a lab to do homework on Microsoft Excel 2007. I finished it then sent it to myself over E-mail, but at home, I've only got Excel 2003, so it doesn't recognize the program.
is there anyway i can get my 2003 version to read it?
the document is in the ".xlsx" format

Whichever computer has Office 2003 on all you need to do is download the compatibility pack from Microsoft. Then you will be able to open your excel 2007 files:

There is a way. When you save the Excel file on Office 2007, If you want Office 2003 to read it you have to save it as a .xls file. To do this you go to File>Save As and Select Excel 97-2003 Workbook.
Hope this helped.

Go to 'Save As' and select Excel97-2003 and then it will open in either system. The only difference you will notice is that when you open it in 2007 it will show the file name and then (compatibility Mode)

Go back and open it with 2007 if you can and then save it as excel 97-2004.
There is an option under the save as.
Other than that, im pretty sure you cant just open it unless you have 2007.
maybe, email it to someone who has 2007 and have them email it back to you if you cant get access to 2007
